I would say THE ultimate kick for every pilot, pax, flightsimmer and also photographer - taking off and landing on the hottest (hard) runway in the world.

I would say that the hottest runway would be Dubai, or Bahrain Intl.

When I first saw the topic, I though it referred to the most frequently used runway. Probably some airport like DCA where they only have 2 (one of which can handle the MANY jet operations)

@ Heliport
I agree with you. CVF is a great airport ... more like a strip. It's always great to see planes land and take off in Courchevel while snowboarding at the fantastic slopes of Les Trois Vallees.

Awesome suggestion Pascal, I gave it a try (SESM) and could barely make a straight out departure in a Lear 35 even with empty fuel... Tried it with a full Cessna 206 and had enough space in the crater to keep doing climbing turns before finally making it out.

Double Eagle, NM. High altitude and hot and humid as h-ll! I remember having a 5-digit dens. alt. Used most of the (long) runway at T/O in a fairly light loaded 182! Climb rate was close to being negative... =)

Anyone see an educational film called "Density Altitude" with some bozo, his wife, and a new Beech 25? I believe he flew into the highest airport in the US, then proceeded to some hot airport something like +7,000' in altitude, and the runway was about a 1000' irregular strip of dirt next to a fishing spot. Evidently, you can't even get a piper cub in there mid-day.

LUA (Lukla) in Nepal is rather interesting...only one way in and one way out...go arounds aint happening at LUA...
Also, the "Kahiltna International Airport" on Denali in Alaska is quite interesting...
